Depends on the type of show, how popular it was, what are the most vocal complaints about that show. If it wasn't that popular it's likely you'll have very very few names all going hardcore, because while you have tons of vanilla authors they also have the drawback of not going after niche shows.
If you read the manga you know Zenkichi was a "nothing special", a peon, Medaka was arguably a bitch, and Kumagawa the "good loser" almighty figure that pretty much saved the show. In the way that is presented, Kumagawa is the ideal sidekick the hardcore would ship with Medaka.
